All Ceramics

The beauty of the natural human smile can effectively be duplicated with the optical and mechanical properties of the All-Ceramic systems. this is due to the intrinsic nature of these materials.  At EP Dental Laboratory, we understand that the correct processing and handling techniques of the All-Ceramic porcelains are crucial to the optical behavior of these restorations.  This understanding allows each restoration to look and feel like natural teeth. Continuing with the tradition of offering leading-edge and innovative products, EP Dental Laboratory proudly offers IPS e.max, IPS Empress, Finess, Zirconium and Conventional Stacked Ceramic materials.

CONVENTIONAL STACKED CERAMIC

Its optical characteristics mimic those of natural dental structures providing the same degree of translucency, gloss, opalescence, iridescence and fluorescence.

Advantages/Benefits

 

• Margtinal Integrity
• Long-lasting durability
• Precise optical properties
• Tissue biocompatibility
• Metal-free esthetec porcelain

Indications

 

• Veneers
• Full coverage crowns (bicuspids & anterior)
• Optimal esthetic
• Single anteriors

IPS e.max® (Pressed – High Strength)

Strength, Stability, and Excellent Esthetics

This new IPS e.max all-ceramic material is fabricated from lithium disilicate crystals and a glass ceramic overlay which is incredibly dense, providing added strength and stability to bridge spans. IPS e.max contains a fluorapatite crystalline microstructure that enhances biocompatibility and supports the light dispersing properties similar to those found in natural tooth structure.

Advantages/Benefits

 

• Natural translucency
• High Strength
• Wear compatibility
• Tissue bio-compatibility
  Excellent margin adaptation

Indications

 

• Veneers, Inlays/Onlays Full coverage crowns
• 3-unit bridges (up to the 2nd premolar)
